I wanted to migrate my blog when I first moved to Tokyo, but instead it will be in conjunction with moving into my first Tokyo apartment. My previous blog was managed in Typo, which is build in Ruby on Rails. My hosting service, DreamHost, is a godsend for supporting Rails at all, but it is not an ideal Rails hosting environment by any stretch of the imagination (probably no shared hosting service is). What’s more, Typo’s development seems to have slowed down somewhat, and is now eclipsed in the Rails limelight by Mephisto (which, among other things, is now that blogging engine for the Ruby on Rails Weblog). I toyed with running Mephisto on a server some of my friends run, or getting a more Rails-oriented hosting option (e.g., Hosting Rails), or even getting some kind of dedicated virtual server (e.g., Slicehost). In the end, however, I’m opting for the simplest solution: PHP-based http://typo.kurutta.net.
I haven’t posted a handful of the last films I watched. Not that I’ve had much time to watch films lately, but over my months here I did see Lucía y el sexo, Rope, the first season of Heroes, and the third season of Battlestar Galactica. Incidentally, if you want to view the posts that are not related to film (film-related posts are a large percentage of my postings, since I aim to throw up a quick post for every film I watch), I have a category for posts not related to film: 映画以外 (not film).
